The parsons ben preachin' bout Heaven
To Us who're outen the fold;
Bout gates made Of jasper and pearl
And streets paved with nuggets Of gold.
Says the folks there are saints, or else angels,
Some playin' on harps with gold strings,
q low it's . sort Of faccomp'ment-)
To tunes which the rest Of 'sm sings.
And wonder and think Of Mariar,
Who left me year ago May,
How she tackles TO all them fine nxin's-
For she didn't set much on display.
She were humble and shy-like a Twin
As any with who I'm acquaint.
/ reckon she don't feel TO home yet
When she talks to an angel or saint.
When she looks at the amethyst fences,
And walks on streets paved with gold.
Don't you s'poss there are times when she
longs for
The lane in which me and her strolled:
The old grassy lane through the medder,
And the stile where my comm she'd wait
Don't you think she d al leave have the stile
there
As the beautifulest pearly-hinged gste7
And the pond on the farm by the willers,
Where she used to pick cat-tails and flowers
Ruther have than the big crystal ocean,
Cause she did love this old farm OF ours.
Set me thinkin in this way this mornin'.
When looked at her pansies and roses,
An couldn't help wishin' her with me,
STEAD Of stayin' up there long 18th Moses.
As fur me, it's lonesome ithout 'er-
So solemn-like round the old place
That I'm longin' to die aud 60 TO her
Tho reckon I'm !ackin' Of grace.
But If | should be sent down to-tother,
And could sit down 'ith her BY the nre'
Why. what could be nicer In heaven
Than sittin' longside OF Mariar'
'Taint orthydox, this way Of talkin',
Says the parson to me t'other day;
And he fetched me to his way Of thinkin,
Which was Jest like Nariars old way.
SO I'm tryin to live Jest as she did
Go to meetin' as she used ter do
An her spirit hangs round me an whispers
Josiah, guess youll pull through"
